TL;DR: It is suggested that the presence of the exocrine Pancreas is required for the correct spatial assembly of the endocrine pancreas and that, in its absence, endocrine cells are directed by default to the spleen, a site that,in some reptiles, harbors part of this particular cellular compartment.

TL;DR: Two weeks following adult dorsal hemisection of the thoracic spinal cord, Nogo-A KO mice displayed more corticospinal tract (CST) fibers growing toward and into the lesion compared to their wild-type littermates, and CST fibers caudal to the lesions-regenerating and/or sprouting from spared intact fibers-were also found to be more frequent in Nogo

TL;DR: Results imply that abrogation of 40S ribosome biogenesis may induce a checkpoint control that prevents cell cycle progression, and imply that ribosomal protein S6 deficient animals deficient in S6 grew in response to nutrients.

TL;DR: Plakoglobin is an essential component of myocardiac desmosomes and seems to play a crucial role in the sorting out of desmosomal and adherens junction components, and consequently in the architecture of intercalated discs and the stabilization of heart tissue.

TL;DR: A temporal hierarchy in lymphoid tissue development can now be defined, with LT being an essential participant in general lymphoids tissue organogenesis, developmentally preceeding TNF that has a more varied and subtle role in promotion of correct spatial organization of leukocytes in LN and spleen.
